Why didn't you tell me that last week when the wheels were off
As for air bubbles I usually see a few and figure some of it is air seeping past the nipple and hose.
Remarked on the initial bubbles because I didn't get any bubbles out of any of the bleeders when I did mine. Just flushed enough fluid through to remove all old stuff. Sucked all the fluid out of the reservoirs, inserted paper towels to soak up any back flush and pushed the caliper pistons back into the housings. I have some wooden wedges that I placed into the calipers to keep the pistons retracted and proceeded with the bleed. I'm working by myself so getting to the left caliper is impossible without removing the wheel. Tire change is a convenient time.
